of the girl he came oftener and
oftener to see sat at the head of ths
table. Then there waa tho girl and
two friends who were spending the
week-end at tho little white house In
tho suburbs.
They were discussing of all things
-dishwashing.
Ho had been keeping quiet for some
time. Then, very gravely and delib

the head of the table, "of all the lazy
habits there Is none like leaving the
dinner dishes unwashed overnight."

who have over disliked the "eternal

not expect to be answered:

QUIT KNITTING FOR REAL WORK,
BRITISH GIRL
Eva Fenton, Munitions In

Done
Fair Sex Makes Virtually
All Shells for Army.
Will Speak at Bryn
Mawr
T
HU time has como for the American
woman to luy down her knitting, put
on the old blue tcrge and go out to hctk
her war Job.
No heated enthusiast .idtlnef. this--
Just that quiet ltttlp slip of a niece of
tho lato Lord Kitchener's, who came- over
to America to tell tho story of Oreat
Britain's women munitioners nnd to go
back with a bit In her pocket for thn
blind soldiers, who eve their eyes In
the cause of llbtrty.
Miss Kva Kenton, the first lady muni
tions Inspector In Oreat llrltaln, whom
everybody knows, came to I'hll.itlelphla
today, preparatory to speaking to tho
students of Bryn Mawr CoIIego tomor
row, "Plentc don't think," she said, "that
I am antagonistic toward knitters. They
have done splendid ork But It Is not
real work not as English women know
It. They did their knitting too, at first.
Then came tho day when nrmy otllclnls
told us there was morn Important work
than knitting to be accomplished. Tho
result was Kngllsh women nnd I mean
homo women by this put on their hats
and went to the nearest factory and
worked.
Why Time Hns Pn.eit
"At the time of tho first exodin of
British women Into war work Oreat
Britain had been at war about the satno
length of time America has been in It
now. That Is wny l say tne time ror
knitting has passed. And the time for
the grind and hum of work has come."
Miss Kenton knows what real war
work Is. The crack rifle shot of Oreat
Britain, she was appointed Inspector of
munitions three months ufter the war
broke out Sho has a way of coming
directly to the nolnt of things. Mie
came directly to the point nbout uniforms
In Oreat Britain when she earned fur
herself the title, "The woman who put
British women Into breeches Hho has
other names, too, one being, "Tha per
fect right arm of Churchill," conferred
unon her by Winston Churchill, himself
head of the ministry of munitions.
Miss Kenton es not ror a moment

women already employed for positions
less suited to then!.

of work where they were needed The
thing hapnentd gradually, but today 95
per cent tff all the shells used by Brit
ish soldiers are made by the women.
"There is splendid woman material in
America," MUa Kenton said. "I have
no doubt that America, given the time,
will produce the same mnreIoui woman
machine that Gnat Britain has But It
must be built up by units, hho points out."
Miss Kenton was sent to America, In
company with Mr Raymond Ulnthw-ayt,
on a three-month leave by Queen Alex
andra to collect funds for St. Dunstan's
Hostel, which Kir Arthur Pearson has
offered to the Americans for blinded sol

A WORLD TONGUE
IN ESPERANTO
EDITORIAL FOR WOMEN
BY A WOMAN
By PEARL J. PARKER
Prevticatlonal expert
nrt Introducer nf r.a
(Mr) Hcnuti of
peranto to the
I'niiaocipnia.
WASHINGTON liberated America
through war. Esperanto will liber
ate the world from war.
I wonder how many people know that
Esperanto Is Mie name of a great Inter
national language which has been In
uso In many parts of tho world for more
than thirty years. Home think It Is a
new kind of breakfast food i others that
IJ Is a patent medicine or shoe polish,
or an opera, as a clerk asked the other
day when I Inquired If he had nny Es
peranto records. 1 wantrd "Ii Ktpero,"
which wo Esperantlfts term "The Na
tional Hymn of Espernnto Iand" ("I'
nncln hlmmo de Espernntlnndo").
E.poranto Is not new. It was discov
ered by Dr. 1. I. Zamenhnf. of Warsaw,
Itus.la. Thinking people for hundreds
of years have realized the Importance
of one language for nil, a second lan
guage to be taught to every child besides
Its mother longuo. History shows that
many have tried to create such a lan
guage, buf Esperanto Is the first one that
could survive the test of practical use.
It has been tried in every conceivable
wny by the best linguists of the present
ago and Ins ncvir failed to meet ecry
requirement'.
In the little village where Doctor Za
menhof was born there were four distinct
nationalities, each speaking a different
tongue. Ho dlcovered very rnrly that
a t.-reat- deal of their bohood trouble
aroso from the fact they could not under
stand each other and with his philosophic
mind he began to plan to crtate an Inter
national language. With this object In
Mew he took up the study of the mot
Important languages in use, as well at.
Greek and Latin He had mastered scv
cral before he finished high school. In
his early colli ge days ho began the real
work of creating a new tongue When
he was about nineteen, feeling that he
hod It as nearly perfect as he could
make It alone, he sent out Mmplo sheets
to tho bust- linguists In tho world.
Ridicule from his associated caused
Doctor Zamenhof to sign a pen namo.
Esperanto" In his language meant one
who hoped," so he signed himself Doc
tor Espernnto." That Is how the name
originated. These learned men recog
,.... ii. .v.rfh and cave him aluable
! assistance. On account of his youth he
was advised to wall a n-w " """
presenting It to tne world. The i flrM
book, published In 1878. met with public
approval Immediately and It Is growing
more aluablc evtry day.
Thero ute many expert ''se,r""'8t1B
In the United States, Hut tho Phlladel
nhli Girl Scouts' organization was tho
firs? to take It up The Boy Scouts fol
lowed 1 have no doubt that In a few
months ono will hear more Esperanto
than English In many scout meetings.
Truly speaking, Esperanto was not In
vented, but discovered It Is the best
taken from many languages. It Is cow
posed of roots, prefixes and sufllxes.
With a knowledge of there and only
sixteen rules and no exceptions, one Is
enabled to crcato any word needed to
express an Idea. No dictionary could
be made largo enough to contain all es
peranto words; In fact, thero Is no need
for one. For example, the sutnx t
means "Utile" or "small" . "hOjdo" means
"dog." so "a little dog" would bo "nun
deto " All names and nouns end In "o.
If one wanted to say "a little female
dog" he would use another suffix, "In,"
which Indicates the feminine, and would
hay "hundineto" To say "a young
dog," "puppy," ono would use the sulllx
"Id," which signifies the young of "hund-Id-o,"
and so on.
nn nt thn wonderful things about It
Is that it Is clear and definite; It sayo
JUBt what It means, and nothing elso.
In English we say many things we do
not mean at all For instance, we say
we "took the street car," while In Es
peranto we bay we "put ourselves Into
tho street car" quite a, difference. This
Is only one Illustration
Many educated persons have mastered
Esperanto In a few weeks without a
teacher. Tolstoi Is said to have been
able to read and write It after two
hours' study; but there are few minds
like his. Tho average person can easily
learn It In spare time In a few months.
I should like to tell more about it,
but GIs la reldo (until wo meet

Dances for Jackies
"Ohaneronaire c.f girls to and from
parties given for the sailors at the
Great Lakes training station has been
so successfully managed that Chicago
rnn offer auro-eattons to all women who
are planning recreation for soldiers or
sailors," says Mary Wood Hlnman, field
representative of the department of
health and recreation of th woman's
committee of the Council of National
Defense.
"Orouns of girls over twenty have been
sent with carefully chosen women, who
are made responsible for their behavior.
Usually each woman takes five girls in
her charge j never more than ten, It Is
the rule that the girls return to their
chaperons frequently during the eve
ning. "The hostess committee tn Chicago
also endeavors to see that there Is not
too much duplication of entertainment
Kvary hostess who Is to entertain more
than ten men Is put upon the hostess
committee and talks over the entertain
ment at least two weeks before It takes
place. Thus the hospitalities can be so
arranged as to prevent a number of en
tertainments occurring one Saturday
night and having none to offer the fol
lowing week.
"Muslo for the different entertainments
has proved a problem. A partial solu
tion hns been found In, an arrangement
with the Oreat Lakes Blatlon whereby
a small band from the station Is made
available. The committee nays tha man'a

Sentiment Growing So Rapidly
That Bonrd of Education
Will Act Soon
"Wc should drive the German language
out of eery school In the United States,
and If tho arloils superintendents of

they should be made to walk the plank,"
was the statement made by John Grlb

bers and guests of the eteran corp,
Klrst Regiment, IS. G. P.. nt the I nlon
League. The audience of 500 broke lnti
enthusiastic applause at the expression
of his sentiment
Action condemning the teaching of
German In the schools was also taken
by tho General Society of the Sons of
the Revolution, at a convention last
night In Cooper's Hall, representing
thirty-two States of the Union, when
resolutions were ndopted demanding the
elimination of thnt language from the
educational system of the nation.
Similar sentiments were expressed by
Gabriel II. Moyer, of Lebanon, Dcput
Auditor General of Pennsylvania and
State president of tho Patriotic Order
Sons of America, who declared that the
fight of that organization against all
things German has Just begun.
The.o nnd other expressions of disap
proval of tho teaching of German In the
schools have led to a stnte of public
opinion which virtually nsures tho dis
continuance nf the teaching of German

Wolf, president of the board. ne do
not want any controversy with Councils
or nny other persons who have pro
tested ngalnst the teaching of Oermnn
In the schools. Tho action of Philadel
phia and other cities in eliminating Ger
man will serve as a rebuke to the Ger
mans It will show them that wo hnte
them ns much as they hate the English,
nnd when we acquire thnt spirit wc
will win the war."
